At this time, another group of people ran over from behind.Lin Qiao turned around, and saw a thin black man in a county magistrate's uniform walking over tremblingly, and shouted uncertainly, "Princess Cheng?"

Lin Qiao stepped forward and gave up the umbrella to the county magistrate. The rain was so heavy that the county magistrate was drowned.

Along the way, except for the place where he went into the water yesterday, the rest of the embankments are very strong, which is enough to show that the county magistrate is not a bad person, at least he did not neglect his duties or perfunctory in repairing the embankment.

The county magistrate hurriedly stepped back and said in horror, "The villain dare not."

"What is your surname?"

"Princess Huisheng, the villain Yao Zongbao."

"Master Yao, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Doctor Lin."

He is a man, the princess, the concubine's, even if he is in the palace, and he will be called the concubine when he returns to his hometown, it is too shameful.

No, this Chizhou is not Bai Shaoan's hometown, it can only be Bai Shaoan, that is, the hometown of Qiao Qin's nurse Bai Zhou's husband's family.Lin Qiao wondered again, what happened to Bai Shaoan to hide back to Qingcheng with his wet nurse?He even changed his name!

Perhaps Yao County Magistrate also felt that it was not good to call a man a concubine, so he said, "Doctor Lin, follow the villain back to the county government office! It's really dangerous to stand here under heavy rain."

At this time, the Qin family was almost crying. They wiped away their tears and walked towards Lin Qiao.

The county magistrate of Yao quickly saluted Qin Xiaoru again, "Master Qin, it is the lower officials who have no way to control the water, that's why Lord Qin suffers, the lower officials deserve to die..."

Qin Xiaoru put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly, "Your Excellency Yao, you don't need to blame yourself. Now that Mr. Qin is back, there is no need to mention all the things before. The most important thing now is to find a way to control the water."

"Yes, yes, yes." Magistrate Yao nodded hurriedly.

Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of Qin Xiaoru is the Master Qin he is familiar with!The idiot before, he must have misunderstood.

Several people returned to the county government office in the heavy rain. After changing their clothes, they warmed up around the fireplace in the lobby of the county government office.Although it's summer and it's not cold, if you don't warm up in the rain, you will get sick and die.

Afterwards, everyone gathered around the map to study the disaster situation. Because Qingyang County is upstream and the terrain is relatively high, it can hold out for the time being.

However, the dozen or so villages in the lower reaches of the Anqing River were all submerged.Now the victims of the disaster are properly placed in the camp outside the city by the magistrate of Yao County. Every day, they open a shed to give out porridge. Although they can't fill their stomachs, they can barely eat.

The biggest problem at present is that if the heavy rain continues like this, the victims in the county and outside the city will not be able to survive.

After discussing for a while, the opinion of Yao county magistrate was to urgently repair, heighten and strengthen the embankment on the county side, so as not to let the river flood over.

After those people finished speaking, Qin Xiaoru asked Lin Qiao, "Doctor Lin, what's your opinion?"

Lin Qiao didn't look at him, but just stared at the map, "It's better to block it than to loosen it. In this heavy rainy day, it's not easy to heighten and reinforce the tens of miles of dams? It's better to make this place..."

He pointed to the vicinity of the delta where Qin Xiaoru was found last night, "This place is a basin with a low terrain, a large area, and surrounded by stone mountains. It is better to open an opening in this place to let the flood flow in and reduce the pressure on other places." pressure."

Master Yao thought for a while and said, "This is Niujiapeng, the place is really big, because it is a basin, surrounded by high mountains, it is inconvenient to get in and out on weekdays, not many people live here, only about fifty or so households. And because of the high mountains around, the flood didn't affect the village much. But..."

He glanced at Qin Xiaoru, saw that he had no expression, and said, "It's difficult to bring water here! This mountain is full of stones, how to open a hole? Another question is, how will the villagers arrange it?"

"I'll take care of the opening." Lin Qiao thought of the zhayao bag in the space, and it shouldn't be a problem to blow up a gap in the mountain.

"Since this is the case, Doctor Lin is in charge of the gap in the mountain. Master Yao will handle the relocation of the villagers." Qin Xiaoru ordered again, "As soon as possible! It must be completed by tomorrow evening."

After the task was assigned, Lin Qiao was about to leave for the Niujiapen, Qin Xiaoru suddenly said, "Let Qingfeng accompany you."

Lin Qiao didn't look at him, "Thank you Lord Qin, Qingfeng will stay to protect you. I can do it by myself."

Seeing that Lin Qiao was unwilling to accept it, and Qin Xiaoru looked disappointed and unhappy, Qin Xiaoyong said hastily, "Lin Qiao, let me go with you!"

"No need, Second Young Master, you stay here to protect Lord Qin!"

Lin Qiao didn't care about their faces, and ran away holding an umbrella.

He is no longer willing to mix with Qin Xiaoru.

To go to Niujiapeng, on weekdays, you usually take a boat first and then climb over a mountain.But now, the current is so fast that it is impossible to take a boat, and we can only take a long detour.

Lin Qiao didn't want to be accompanied by Qin Xiaoru's people, but County Magistrate Yao dared not let him go alone. This is Princess Sheng!In case something goes wrong, killing the entire Yao family will not be able to pay for it!

The county magistrate of Yao wanted to send someone to Niujiapeng to take care of the relocation of the villagers, and Lin Qiao was also going to Niujiapeng, so they happened to be on the same road.So County Magistrate Yao sent a few more experts, ordering these people to protect Princess Sheng well.

Under the heavy rain, Lin Qiao rode a horse on the muddy road for more than half an hour with several yamen servants in charge of relocation, and then switched to walking. After walking for more than an hour, he climbed the mountain for more than an hour, and finally At the end of the day, I rushed to the Niujiapen.

At this time, everyone including Lin Qiao was covered in muddy water.

Needless to say, it was hard to walk this way. It was okay when I walked on the flat road. Later, when I climbed the mountain, people fell down from time to time and rolled down the mountain.

On weekdays, these yamen servants would definitely complain, but now even the pampered concubine with delicate skin and tender flesh has not said a word, how dare they complain, they can only grit their teeth and insist.

When they finally climbed to the top of the mountain and walked down to the village in the basin.Lin Qiao looked around, and sure enough, the basin was not only very large, but also very low, at least nearly [-] meters lower than the flat land outside the mountain.

Most of the basins are swamps and scattered small ponds, and only on higher ground are houses built and rice planted.

The meal was overheated at the village chief's house, Lin Qiao didn't care to change into dry clothes, so he separated from the yamen servants who were in charge of relocation, and walked along the mountain on the side of the Qing River in Lin'an with only a few yamen servants who were in charge of protecting him. Circle, selected a mountain that is thinner and shorter than other places, and planned to start from here to blast a gap as a flood discharge.

When it was getting dark, the drenched people returned to the cattle shed, but they heard the wailing in the village.

Lin Qiao and the others entered the village chief's yard. Seeing the yamen servants in charge of relocation pulling together with the angry and sad villagers, they felt displeased immediately, so they scolded the yamen servants, "Stop! If you have anything to say, you can't talk to the villagers. Say it well?"

Then he said to the village chief with red eyes, "Old man, you should also let the villagers calm down and talk about it if you have something to say."

He has seen this kind of situation on TV and the Internet a lot. One party wants to demolish and enforce the law violently, while the other party is reluctant to part with his homeland, or cannot agree on a satisfactory compensation. There will always be conflicts and fights several times.

After the yamen servant and the villagers calmed down, Lin Qiao asked the yamen servant in charge of the relocation, "Why can't we talk about it?"

"Reporting to the king..." Seeing Lin Qiao staring at him, the person in charge quickly changed his words, "Reporting to Lord Lin, these villagers don't want to move, and the villain has said ten thousand times, they just don't want to move, and they still cry Making a fuss about beating someone."

Seeing that the yamen servant was respectful to Lin Qiao, the village chief cried out to Lin Qiao, "My lord, it's not that we don't want to move! But we have lived here for generations. The fields are here, the house is here, and our family is here. Now the rice is about to be harvested. Without food, what do we eat? How do we live? The adults ask us to move, but where do we want to move? If our houses and fields are flooded, what will we do in the future? How do you live?"

Lin Qiao sighed, and persuaded, "The rice in your field has grown like that, how many catties of grain can it produce?"

He just walked over from the other side of the mountain, and saw that the rice in the field was flat and empty, and it was raining heavily during the earing and flowering period of the rice. How many grains could it produce?

The village head froze immediately, but still murmured, "I can always collect a few catties."

"You didn't tell them that the imperial court will compensate them?" Lin Qiao turned to the yamen servant in charge again.

"Master Lin, we talked about it! But they think it's too small, so they don't want to move."

"My lord," the village chief cried again, "the family only pays five taels of silver. With this money, how will our family live after we go out?"

Five taels of silver?Lin Qiao was speechless. To ask someone to leave their hometown, they only gave five taels of silver to each household?

However, there is no way around this. The flood caused heavy losses. The rice that was about to be harvested was flooded, and many houses were destroyed. How will we live the rest of this year?

Although the imperial court has allocated money and food for disaster relief, how much can each family get after dividing up so many counties?What's more, post-disaster reconstruction also needs money.

Lin Qiao sighed, and said to the village chief, "It is divided by head, no matter male or female, each adult is ten taels, and each person under the age of 14 is five taels. After the flood recedes, the land will be resettled again, also according to the head. Tax free for the first three years."

His resettlement method immediately suppressed the crying villagers and the servants on the side.

so much!

There are at least five or six people in a family here. If they are arranged in this way, they will be enough to build a house and rent land in the future.

After being shocked, the villagers immediately became excited again. They live here, and it is very inconvenient to get in and out.All the girls in the village wanted to marry outside, but the girls outside were unwilling to marry in. Many men in the village couldn't find wives.Nowadays, not only can you move outside, but you can also rent land for free, and you can also get such a large resettlement fee. Is this true?

Lin Qiao repeatedly confirmed with them that it was absolutely true, and said, "I will pack it up tonight, and only those who move out tomorrow will get the resettlement fee. Moreover, when receiving the resettlement money, you must bring someone with you to claim it."

The reason why he said this was because he was worried that someone would take the opportunity to abandon those old, young, sick and disabled, and then go to receive money according to the registered number.

When they heard that they had to move out early to get money, the villagers immediately dispersed and went home to clean up.

Of course, even with a lot of money, there are still those who are unwilling to leave the village.These people are usually old people.For them, it is really difficult to leave the place where they have lived for decades.
